Puppy Purchase Agreement
In consideration of their mutual promises contained herein, Seller and Buyer agree as follows:
1. Seller agrees to sell and Buyer agrees to purchase a miniature schnauzer puppy. This puppy is an AKC registered
purebred:
black / black & silver / salt & pepper Male / Female
2. Buyer shall take possession of the schnauzer upon execution of this agreement, and full ownership of the schnauzer
shall pass to buyer at that time.
3. Buyer agrees that said schnauzer is being purchased with AKC limited registration therefore said schnauzer is being
purchased as a home companion and will not ever be bred. Buyer agrees to never register and/or dual register said
schnauzer with any other registry other than AKC. Buyer further agrees to have a licensed veterinarian spay/neuter said
schnauzer no later than _______2007. Should the puppy not be spayed/neutered by 7 months of age, the health
guarantee as follows will be null and void.
4. Buyer hereby certifies that this purchase is not made by the buyer as an agent for any other person or entity, and
further agrees that neither the schnauzer nor its offspring shall be sold, given away or traded to any person, pound,
humane society, shelter, agent, pet store, mass commercial kennel, or puppy mill. If for any reason, at any point in
time, you are no longer able to keep this puppy please call us. If we
are not able to take this puppy back we are more than happy to assist you in placing it in a loving home. Purchaser
agrees to never surrender this dog to an animal shelter and agrees to give breeder first
opportunity to take ownership.
5. Buyer agrees to provide the highest quality care for said schnauzer, high quality food, fresh water available at all
times, shelter from heat and cold, active companionship, appropriate exercise, proper socialization, grooming, flea
prevention, professional veterinary care whenever necessary. Appropriate professional veterinary care includes but is
not limited to, annual exams, internal parasite checks yearly, and de-worming if necessary, remaining current on all
vaccinations including bordertella. Your new puppy has been eating Nutro Natural Choice Puppy food. Please
continue to feed this to avoid diarrhea. Although we highly recommend a high quality food such as Nutro Natural
Choice Puppy if you chose to change your pet’s diet, please do this gradually by mixing the two 50/50, gradually
phasing out one. If your puppy doesn't eat, vomits or has diarrhea or appears to be weak within the first 24-48 hours
notify your vet immediately- Please don't wait. Puppies can dehydrate very rapidly and your puppy’s life may depend
on your quick response.
6. Puppy showing a life threatening genetic disease or life threatening genetic defect will be replaced as follows in
section 6-A or section 6-B.
6-A. The family schnauzer puppy was examined by a licensed veterinarian on or before ________2007 and was found to
be in good health and free of disease or genetic defect. Buyer agrees to take schnauzer to a licensed veterinarian
within 3 days (72 hours) of date of purchase (or upon shipping). If a licensed veterinarian determines said schnauzer
has a life threatening disease or genetic defect within 3 days (72 hours) after the time of purchase, a replacement pup
will be offered. Buyer agrees that seller is not responsible for any vet bills or transportation costs. Buyer and seller
both agree that sale is final after 3 days.
6-B. Puppy must show genetic defect by 1 year of age and be examined by a licensed veterinarian. The breeder must
be notified at once at the onset of the problem, in written report from the vet. Breeder may require buyer to get a 2nd
opinion at breeder’s veterinarian of choice. The breeder’s veterinarian will interpret the reports, if he concurs, then the
next available replacement puppy will be given. A puppy with a life threatening genetic defect must be returned or with
prior permission from breeder may be euthanized to qualify for replacement pup. A returned puppy must be returned
in good condition other than the specific problem, at the buyer’s expense. The Buyer will then qualify for a
replacement pup, we do not offer refunds on money paid under any circumstances. Breeder is not responsible for any
veterinary costs or transportation costs for the puppy. No replacement puppy will be given if the puppy has been bred,
or euthanized without the breeder’s permission. We breed for quality pets and do not guarantee as to the disposition,
confirmation, size, color or breeding/show capability of puppy purchased. This health guarantee does not include
hypoglycemia, worms, kennel cough, coccidia, or other common treatable illnesses. These are common occurrences
found in puppies that can be treated and we take precautions to avoid these conditions.
6-C. We feel so strongly about NuVet supplements that we also offer an additional one-year health guarantee, total of 2
years, if you keep your puppy on NuVet supplements. To order this product online, please go to
www.Nuvet.com/36678 OR you can call 1-800-474-7044. You will be asked for a breeder referral code which is 36678. We
highly recommend this product as processed dog food may be lacking the nutritional values vital to your dogs health
and immune system. A monthly report is sent to Masterpiece Schnauzers by NuVet Labs detailing which of our dogs
is being supplemented with "NuVet Plus Canine". Failure to keep your pet on this supplement will render all
guarantees null and void.
7. Buyer agrees to vaccinate as follows: age 10 weeks while continuing vaccinations every 21-28 days from the date of
the previous set with the last set to be given on or after 16 weeks of age. After you have completed the puppy series
you will also need to vaccinate for Bordertella and Rabies. I do not recommend vaccinating for Leptospira unless you
talk to your vet about this being in your area and a real need for this vaccination. Many schnauzer bloodlines have
adverse reactions to Leptospira and some have even resulted in death. A detailed account of your puppy’s care has
been provided. Please take this with you to your first vet visit. Please be prepared to follow your vets advise on
scheduled vaccines, wormings & heart worm preventative.
8. Buyer agrees when said schnauzer is outside it shall be kept in a secured fully fenced yard or on a leash at all times
and never allow the schnauzer to roam free. Buyer further agrees that schnauzer shall wear a collar or harness with
current identification tag at all times. This schnauzer will never, at anytime, be chained, tied to a stake or otherwise
tethered outside. Schnauzer will always live and sleep in the home as a family member.
